A thief is being hunted by police who they suspect is trying to grow new hair for his head. Police in New York have been searching for two men who fled from a CVS Pharmacy located on Long Island with what they say was $150 worth of Rogaine hair products. One of the two suspects who were caught on surveillance video is bald.
The two men went to the CVS store on December 17 and have been accused of putting three of the Rogaine boxes in a gift bag and then leaving the store without paying for any of the merchandise. The products cost around $50 apiece. The second of the two suspects has a full head of hair, as seen on the surveillance footage.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by the Suffolk County Crime Stoppers in any information leading to the arrest of the thieves that stole the Rogaine back in December.
Stealing Rogaine is not something new to stores across the country, no matter if the stolen products are being used or being resold. Back in September of 2011, a thief in Illinois stole an entire shelf of Rogaine.
The suspect in this crime was a woman, who has yet to be identified. She allegedly took over $400 worth of Rogaine from the pharmacy, according to police officers investigating the theft. The woman escaped the pharmacy and the area in a get-away car that had three unidentified men in it. On a lighter side, there was no report as to whether or not any of the four suspects were bald.
